“Yet let me hope that De Bracy’s name has not been always unspoken when minstrels or heralds have praised deeds of chivalry, whether in the lists or in the battlefield.”  “To heralds and to minstrels, then, leave they praise, Sir Knight,” replied Rowena, “more suiting for their mouths than for thine own.” (185)

Ivanhoe by Sir Walter Scott

I love this quote, and it’s one of a million from that book! 🙂
